Solution Overview
Problem
Blood purification apparatuses with large-capacity or special treatment requirements complicate the operation process, increasing the number of steps for operators and reducing ease of use.
Innovation Solution
A blood purification apparatus and system that includes a registering device to pre-register treatment conditions and operational settings based on the performance, characteristics, or function of the blood purifier, and a changing device to adjust these settings accordingly, along with a display for input and recommendation of optimal settings.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If special treatment conditions and operational settings are manually configured for each blood purifier, then the blood purification treatment can be optimized for specific purifier performance, but the number of operator steps increases and ease of operation decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by automatically configuring treatment conditions and operational settings based on the blood purifier's performance characteristics before the treatment begins. The control device reads the purifier's identification information and automatically sets appropriate parameters, eliminating the need for manual configuration and reducing operator steps while ensuring optimized treatment for each specific purifier type.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the number of treatment conditions and operational settings is increased to accommodate different blood purifier specifications, then the adaptability to different purifiers improves, but the device complexity and operator burden increase
Solution Approach 1:
The blood purifier and control device work together in a self-service manner where the purifier automatically provides its identification information and performance characteristics to the control device. The control device then automatically determines and configures the appropriate treatment conditions based on this information, eliminating the need for complex manual setting procedures and reducing operator burden while maintaining high adaptability to different purifier types.
3Manufacturing precision
If manual configuration of treatment settings is required for each blood purifier, then precise control over treatment parameters is achieved, but the time required for treatment preparation increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements feedback by having the control device automatically read the blood purifier's identification information and performance characteristics, then use this feedback to automatically determine and configure the precise treatment parameters. This closed-loop approach ensures accurate parameter setting matched to each purifier's specific capabilities while dramatically reducing the time required for treatment preparation compared to manual configuration.
